    Trump's White House national security staff is almost all military intelligence officers. What could go wrong?

    Flynn is creating the most military-heavy National Security Council of the modern era....
    https://www.washingtonpost.com/opini...ynn-is-creatin...
    Flynn is under pressure to show Trump he can make relatively quick progress in the struggle against terrorism, especially in Iraq and Syria. That’s the straightest line for Flynn to establish himself as indispensable with a new president who has set up a team of rivals. To succeed in the long run, however, Flynn and Trump will need to assemble an NSC staff with diverse backgrounds that can approach problems not only from a military lens.
    NOW we are having an intelligence analysis competition between the NSC and the entire 17 member IC board.....

    BUT WAIT it will be seriously missing the strategic level strategy needed to formulate an effective FP...all of these military choices will in the end only provide tactical answers....to strategic problems...

    Military staffs have had a poor track record of "planning"...AND yes even Flynn....

    BLUF:
    I'll take "Endless, doomed, and globally-destabilizing war on Islam" for $500, Alex.

    Biggest Trump danger isn't that he implements crazy policies but that thru incompetence & inexperience WH crashes the whole natsec system.

    BUT WAIT...Iran did not want the US to come...the Turks did and the UN stated it must be under UN supervision...

    Every time someone talks up Russia's success in Syria, point them toward the pathetic inability to hold Palmyra.

    Raqqa: #ISIS has killed 4 #YPG fighters, 3 are from #Turkey.

    Russian air force Tu-22M3 dropped dumb bombs on "#ISIS positions around #DeirEzzor" yesterday.

    DeirEzzor: Massive destruction in #DeirEzzor after heavy #Assad and #Russia|n airstrikes.

    Damascus: Rebels have killed #Assad Brigadier General Asaf Badour in #Qaboun, #Damascus, today.

    Another child that got injured in the same artillery attack near #Talbisah.
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66Ecwud0I9s#

    Another "ceasefire" day in #Syria.
    Violence reduced sharply.
    Still, civilians are hit daily by pro-#Assad forces.

    More footage of smoke after an "artillery attack" on rural #Homs province by pro-#Assad forces.

    WadiBarada: fierce clashes & shelling continue on Ain Al-Fijah front as pro-Regime forces are trying to enter into the village.

    Anticipated direct talks btwn Syrian sides is instead shuttle diplomacy. Delegates call each other terrorists. #AstanaProcess Day1
